Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly lighter and cooler in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a light bluish rubmark towards the centre of the upper right quadrant, which is likely to be inherent to the artist's working process. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
